The U.S. government “coordinated” with Stanford University and other entities to censor Americans’ speech in the lead-up to the 2020 election, according to a new report from the House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

According to the Nov. 6 report, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Global Engagement Center—an agency within the Bureau of Global Public Affairs at the State Department—coordinated with Stanford University and other colleges to create what was known as the “Election Integrity Partnership” (EIP) in 2020 to “provide a way for the federal government to launder its censorship activities in hopes of bypassing both the First Amendment and public scrutiny.”
